Pastor Barb has served faithfully by Pastor Ed’s side ever since he started ministry as a youth leader. She believes that her calling has always been and still is to “help the church become the church that Christ intended it to be.” And through the years, she’s done whatever was needed to fulfill that call. Her life scriptures, the ones she believes solidify her call to ministry are found in 1 Thessalonians and Galatians.

“Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NASB 1995)

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17 ESV)
